Crossroads Animal Hospital

Preventive Care

Dental Care
Among the ways in which we can care for our pets, few things are more important than oral and dental care, one of the most commonly overlooked areas of pet health care. In fact, the American Veterinary Dental Society reports that 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age three.
Vaccination
In this busy world there’s always so much to remember! We’ll help by sending reminders of when your pet is due for vaccinations, heartworm and parasite checks, as well as any necessary blood rechecks and dental treatments.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
The staff at Crossroads really treats their client's animals like their own. The clinic is focused on keeping your pet healthy and does not recommend needless diagnostics. Our vaccination protocol is based on the current recommendations of the AAHA. I also love how important continuing education is at this clinic. I am interested in preventative medicine, geriatric medicine, and ophthalmology.
Behavioral Counseling
Many pets develop undesirable behaviors such as inappropriate indoor urination, separation anxiety, excess grooming, fear anxiety as well as others. We offer basic behavior consultations and have comprehensive clients handouts available on a variety of behavior problems. We evaluate the pet first for any underlying medical causes and work with you to try to modify the behavioral problem. In the event we feel the problem would best be treated by one of the local behavioral specialists, we will help to set up a referral.
Nutritional Counseling
During every exam, each pet receives a Body Profile Score. If your pet’s weight is outside of the normal range, we assess them for any underlying medical causes and will make diet recommendations when necessary. We recommend follow-up evaluations to help your pet achieve and maintain a normal weight. As in human nutrition, the healthiest way for a dog to shed extra weight is to follow a sound dietary and exercise program designed to reduce body weight gradually under medical supervision. This can still include a few treats, which is a good thing! We maintain an inventory of prescription diets for dogs and cats that have special medical needs.
Comprehensive Examination
All patients anesthetized for a dental or surgical procedure have a complete physical examination the day of the procedure and a current preanesthetic profile (PAP) that evaluates important blood and urine parameters that affect the risk of anesthesia. A review of the patient’s medical history and medication use completes the preanesthetic evaluation. Based upon these results an anesthetic protocol that best suits the patient is selected.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Pet insurance is available in a variety of plans, ranging from catastrophic coverage which protects dogs and cats in the event of accidental injuries, emergencies and major illnesses, to more comprehensive plans which add coverage for office visits, prescriptions, diagnostic tests, x-rays and lab fees. Routine care riders are available which provide coverage for annual exams, heartworm protection, flea and tick prevention and other ongoing animal health care procedures.
Pain Management
Pets experience pain just like humans do, and we believe it is critically important to identify, prevent, and minimize pain in all dogs and cats. Animal pain and suffering are clinically important conditions that adversely affect an animal’s quality of life. Fortunately the issue of pain management in pets has been a topic of high priority within the veterinary profession and significant advances have occurred in the treatment of animal pain during the last decade.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Thanks to advances in veterinary medicine, pets are living longer than ever before. However, with this increased lifespan comes an increase in the types of ailments that can afflict senior pets. As pets reach the golden years, there are a variety of conditions and diseases that they can face, including weight and mobility changes, osteoarthritis, kidney, heart, and liver disease, tumors and cancers, hormone disorders such as diabetes and thyroid imbalance, and many others. Just as the health care needs of humans change as we age, the same applies to pets. It’s critical for pet owners to work closely with us to devise a health plan that is best for their senior pet.
Hip Dysplasia Treatment
Pain in animals can arise from a variety of causes and conditions. Acute pain comes on suddenly as a result of an injury (such as fractures, strains, etc), surgery, or infections. Chronic pain, which is long-lasting and usually develops slowly, is typical for conditions such as hip dysplasia, intervertebral disc disease, dental disease or cancer. Since a pet cannot verbally describe pain intensity or location, we use the pet’s medical history and physical examinations to determine the pain’s characteristics. In that way, we assess each animal’s needs in order to tailor a specific plan to treat your pet’s pain, whether it is for pain management before and after a surgical procedure, or for long-term management of arthritis.
Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Our clinic offers Doppler and oscillometric blood pressure monitoring, important in the evaluation and treatment of cardiac and kidney disease, Cushing’s Disease, diabetes and hyperthyroidism.
Epilepsy Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
2 saturation of exhaled air from the patient, pulse rate, heart rate, EKG of the heart, respiratory rate and body temperature. These parameters, monitored by the veterinarian and the veterinary technician allow us to keep the patient at a safe depth of anesthesia. This helps minimize the risk of anesthesia to the patient. In addition, any higher risk patient has an indwelling venous catheter placed and fluids are administered.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Numerous studies have tied oral health to longevity; a good regime of oral health care can promote your pet’s overall wellness as dental disease doesn’t affect just the mouth — it can lead to more serious health problems including heart, lung and kidney disease, which makes it all the more important that you provide your pets with proper dental care from the start.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
There are two critical components of your pet’s veterinary dental care: oral examinations and dental cleanings. Veterinary dental care begins at the puppy and kitten life stage. All puppies and kittens are examined for problems related to the deciduous (baby) teeth, missing or extra teeth, swellings and oral development. As your pet ages, we look for growth abnormalities, the accumulation of plaque and tartar, periodontal disease and oral tumors. In addition, we instruct you on the best way to help care for their teeth and gums at home, the most important part in dental health!

Laser Surgery
Spaying and Neutering

Laboratory Services
Scheduling regular veterinary examinations is one of the most important steps pet owners can take to keep their pets in good health. When dogs and cats enter the senior years, these health examinations are more important than ever. Senior care, which starts with the regular veterinary exam, is needed to catch and delay the onset or progress of disease and for the early detection of problems such as organ failure and osteoarthritis. We recommend that healthy senior dogs and cats visit the veterinarian every six months for a complete exam and laboratory testing. Keep in mind that every year for a dog or cat is equivalent to 5–7 human years. In order stay current with your senior pet’s health care, twice-a-year exams are a must.
X-Ray
Microchipping
Every year, hundreds of thousands of lost pets are taken to animal shelters across the country. Many of these animals wear no form of traceable identification and can not be reunited with their families. For this reason, we recommend electronic microchip implants. Using a special syringe, a small coded device about the size of a grain of rice is injected under the loose skin of your pet’s neck. Animal shelters and most veterinary hospitals throughout the U.S. are equipped with special scanning devices that read microchip information. This allows owners to be reunited with their lost pets.

General Pet Care

Boarding
Grooming
I have been with Crossroads since September 2021, after "retiring" from dog grooming for over 10 years. I own two Miniature Australian Shepherds, Bucky Barnes and Ekko, and two cats, Kled and Glenda. My husband and I are video game aficionados, and regularly attend comic-con/anime conventions across the Midwest. We also enjoy international travel with friends.
Senior Pet Care
Together, we can help your pet. You know your pet better than anyone else and can alert us to any changes in your pet before they become serious. We can help you understand the common medical conditions that your senior pet faces, and discuss a regular monitoring plan.
